The army took a short rest.

After lunch, Shen Ning personally carried a meal and walked to the cage where Han Xun was imprisoned. Although it was not dark yet, the bonfire was already lit.

Han Xun was trapped in the cage, unable to move. The firelight reflected his embarrassed face, flickering on and off, adding a bit of eerie and eerie feeling.

Surrounded by the cage were earth-colored envoys, each of them eerily silent, and around them, a dense mass of black-armored soldiers holding long spears tightly surrounded them in this small world.

Shen Ning walked not far from the cage and said calmly: "Open his cage and give him this meal.

"Yes." A soldier stepped forward, opened the prison cage with a key neatly, took the food from Shen Ning's hand, and placed it in front of Han Xun.

Han Xun's hands were still shackled, making it inconvenient to eat. However, survival is a human instinct. If he was extremely hungry, even if he was asked to lie on the ground like a dog to eat, he would put down his dignity and let himself survive first.

Shen Ning said nothing and turned to leave.

"Li'er." A deep and regretful voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Is that you?"

Shen Ning's steps froze.

The envoys sitting on the floor were all shocked and turned to stare at Shen Ning's back in disbelief.

Li'er?

Who is Zhongyonghou calling?

"I was wrong. I know I'm sorry for you, but those were not my actions willingly." Han Xun seemed to be repenting, and his tone was full of heartache and self-blame. "The emperor is afraid of your military exploits. If you say that you live one day, he will spend the whole night." I can't sleep, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion has his spy, I...I have no choice but to keep you alive..."

Shen Ning turned around and looked at him, walking towards him step by step.

His meal consisted of a portion of rice and vegetable soup. For a prisoner, such a meal was already a generous treat. However, Shen Ning felt that it was a huge waste to give him this meal.

She picked up the vegetable soup and poured it down little by little from the top of his head, covering his head with vegetable leaves.

Han Xun froze on the spot, then struggled excitedly: "Li'er! You are Li'er, I was wrong, can you forgive me? I was forced to have no choice - Li'er! Li'er!"

Shen Ning turned and left.

The soldiers locked the cage again and ignored Han Xun even as he screamed.

And the envoys sitting around had huge waves in their hearts.

Li'er?

Did Marquis Zhongyong call Princess Zhaohua?

The regent princess of Yong State's maiden name is Shen Ning, and the eldest princess of Nan Zhao Zhaohua is Yan Jiuli. Does Marquis Zhongyong suspect that Shen Ning is Yan Jiuli?

How can it be?

They obviously have different identities, different looks, and different ages. How could they be the same person?

Is Marquis Zhongyong in a daze?

"Ahead is the Nanzhao Imperial City." Mr. Ji spoke in a low voice, his expression full of the sadness before the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. "The enemy troops are approaching the city. I don't know whether the emperor and the ministers plan to fight and die for the country, or have already begun to clean up. Are you ready to run away?"

"Master Ji, be careful what you say." Another envoy frowned, "The emperor is wise and powerful. He is Nan Zhao's last hope. He will never abandon the city and flee."

"Hahahahahaha..." Suddenly a burst of sarcastic laughter rang out, "Won't you abandon the city and flee? Do you really think the emperor has such backbone?"

Mr. Ji's face turned red and he turned to look at Han Xun: "Marquis Zhongyong, don't talk nonsense! The Emperor is definitely not who you say he is."

"I bet that the emperor has already packed up his gold and silver, disguised himself, and hid in the secret passage of the palace. As soon as the enemy troops enter the city, he will find the right time to leave." Han Xun sneered, "Can I just wait for the enemy to enter the city?" The successful departure depends on whether the generals of the Yong Kingdom conduct a thorough search and defense of the Nanzhao Palace."

If his guess is true and Shen Ning is really the eldest princess Zhaohua, then the emperor's hope of escaping is almost zero.

Because Yan Jiuli knew about that underground palace since he was a child. The three of them had entered the secret passage and played hide-and-seek in the underground palace when they were young.

Thinking of what happened when he was a child, a look of confusion flashed across Han Xun's eyes, and a sharp pain suddenly appeared in his heart.

If the regret and sorrow shown in front of Shen Ning just now were disguised, the sharp and sharp stabbing pain in his heart at this moment was truly unforgettable.

It turns out that once upon a time, they also had the beauty of being childhood sweethearts, without any interests mixed with them, without any precautions or fears.

It's just that those innocence and beauty have faded little by little with age, until they disappear, leaving only calculations and resentment.

Han Xun huddled in the cage and suddenly realized that he deserved what he deserved.
